Each book is printed in paperback with a gold “Essential Legends Collection” banner on the front cover and side binding.
Next month will see the release of another set of books part of this collection. On May 23, 2023, the Essential Legends Collection will welcome Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, Republic Commando: Hard Contract, and Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void.
Several waves of these books have been released each year for the past several years, and will likely continue releasing for the foreseeable future.
